Democrats just passed the climate change bill that opens up more areas for drilling including in the Gulf of Mexico and their highly vaunted drug price control isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. It’s Bush’s clean skies bill all over again, but shitlibs think it’s monumental.

Plus I think it’s an attempt to rile up Trump supporters into doing something violent. Biden’s got to find a way to implement his patriot act #2 somehow. People aren’t scared enough about the lengthy sentences the 1/6 people are getting. Stroll past cops and do a peaceful tour of the capital? Go to prison whilst the real crooks loot the economy. The tree that needs watering is going to shrivel up and die because the time for watering it has long sailed. Probably put to sea when Bush and Obama started militarizing cops.

is Kabuki theatre - designed to divide the populace and detract the plebs from the real issues affecting America. Distraction is the main attraction in today's news. Politics is just proof of the human capacity for hypocrisy.

Ds have been convicting Trump in the media for 7 years since he declared that he was running. And yes there are 2 justice systems in America. It looks like Hunter was working as foreign lobbyist without registering as one which is one reason Manafort went to prison and he might be charged for tax evasion. These things have been known by the FBI for 3 years and yet there has been no charges against him. Plus Hillary’s BFF Podesta worked with Manafort and yet he walked.

to begin following RW media more, as I hear elsewhere that many of the counter talking points on the FBI search I've seen lately seem to have been copied and pasted from the Trump/GOP PR machines. TPs being tossed out constantly everyday in order to keep the public from concentrating too much on what DJT has done -- that's the real distraction happening now. A partial list below, probably forgetting some:

1) It's a purely Political prosecution.
2) They never prosecuted Hillary, Hunter, Obama for the same/worse etc
3) Ds are engaging in a preemptive coup
4) It's all just much ado about nothing and a hoax, just like Russiagate
5) Prez can declassify what he wants
6) T lawyers weren't allowed to observe the search
7) The required affidavit wasn't attached to the warrant a/o affidavit wasn't made public
8) There will be a fierce R backlash so the Ds had better back off
9) Those mean Ds are convicting poor Donald Trump without even a trial.
10) This is all just a D distraction from Biden's inflation and low-poll #s

When the law is against you, pound on the facts. When the facts are against you, pound on the law. And when both the law and the facts are against you, pound on the table!

The deteriorating mental health, across the US population, and the general public swooning over the manly force of gestapo authority will make fair trials impossible.

Not that anyone charged under the espionage act can get a fair trial in the first place. It’s kabuki theater where the accused doesn’t get to put up a defense and the verdict has already been decided.

But just like the 1/6 scam I’m keeping my mind open to Trump being a patsy again for whatever nefarious reasons are behind the raid which the left media has been told to stop calling it a raid because it looks bad. Everyone saw the information about the Trump speech happening on that day and the media was all talking about the players who might be at it and how much violence there might be and yet we’re supposed to believe that all security agencies were caught off guard? Please. Biden’s patriot act #2 was already written and just needed a Pearl Harbor to go into effect.

And look just as the CDC retired all requirements for Covid a squirrel comes along and distracts us from how bogus they were in the first place. Or the parasite class just wants more people to die. Gawd only knows the true agenda of the elite.

...is still alive and well, here. I am aware that many folks lack any awareness of how their bias twists their judgement and makes a joke of human rights.

If this is the common mindset of the pseudo-left — Julian Assange will continue to serve out his extra-judicial death sentence for revealing the truth about how the US behaves when it invades foreign nations. The deteriorating mental health, across the US population, and the general public swooning over the manly force of gestapo authority will make fair trials impossible. Not that most Americans can even afford a trial. The majority of those ovr-charged with crimes, whether or not they are innocent, will accept lifelong reputation-destroying punishments and prison — because the majority cannot afford to hire competent attorneys to take them to trial. Moreover, the punishment for defending one's innocence in a courtroom, and losing at a trial, is far more cruel and terrible that accepting punishment without a trial. That's how justice works in the US.

Look out with intellectual honesty over the tragic and blighted dystopia of this Mecca of incarceration. The persecution of Trump is not leveling the playing field for anyone.

@Pluto's Republic and I see the flip side of TSDS -- Trump Supporter Derangement Syndrome -- where many of his folks lack any awareness of how their bias twists their judgement and makes a joke of human rights. And where many of his defenders lack any awareness of how T has been the most divisive president since at least Nixon and probably including the Trickster. If there is any such TDS, the cute putdown his defenders like to trot out to cut short further unwanted criticisms of their Dear Leader, we can largely blame the Donald for helping bring it about.

Meanwhile with the investigation of T possibly leading to charges, a trial, and possibly conviction (slender though the chances be), we might be taking the first steps to achieving not a perfect sense of justice but a better system of justice where even the high and mighty, including former presidents and billionaires, are finally brought to book, in a refreshing turning of the tables. And the success will be seen in the sincere effort to hold him to account, not the end result. Though I am hopeful such end results in the Don never again being able to blight and embarrass our country with his presence in the WH.

They are bullies and cowards, and they only feel safe in swarms. This goes for all the cop-type agencies, most if not all of which have "benefited" from Israeli paramilitary training.

is beyond abhorrent and no one regardless of which side you are on should be okay with it. Solitary confinement for trespassing? Dr. Gold was sentenced to 6 months in prison for walking into the capital through doors that were open? Trespassing is usually a misdemeanor, but she and many others have been found guilty by brainwashed jurors or took a plea deal because of a possibly longer sentence if they risked a trial. And let’s not forget the possibility that there were FBI infiltrators in the crowd that the whole fcking world knew was going to be there that day.

They had been protesting peacefully until cops started shooting tear gas and rubber bullets into them. Hey where is Ray Ebbs?

And for gawd’s sake was it necessary to send 30 armed agents who were only looking for documents? Doesn’t anyone else think that might have been overkill? Did they think that they’d be met with armed Trump supporters? Anyone who doesn’t see a problem with that I don’t know what to say to them.

@snoopydawg

...has been that this unexpected over-reach of emergency justice, it could explode the nation's political equilibrium — and inspire a populist rebellion to smack down the Democrats, who are so goddamn annoying, anyway. They were already on thin ice for pushing a mentally defective candidate into the Presidency.

It's no secret how Americans are leaning. When you look at a map of the counties, the US gives off a dull red glow. As ever more intense propaganda narratives are pushed onto the people — in order to manipulate them politically — the people increasingly lose their critical faculties, and cannot discern truth from lies. They become selfish and resentful and republican. A good example of this is the Uighur genocide in Xinjiang, China. Most Americans have no idea if this is the truth or a lie, and they don't know how to verify it. Nor can they discern when the government has a motive for lying about it. Instead, they are forced to blindly believe whatever the Government-Media Complex tells them. Or to doubt the government and become a social outcast.

I've been sampling non political public boards like Reddit and Craigslist. At the moment, I think that Democrats may be on shaky ground.

Here's the bottom line: The correct questions for the discerning onlooker to ask, are the ones you posed:

And for gawd’s sake was it necessary to send 30 armed agents who were only looking for documents? Doesn’t anyone else think that might have been overkill? Did they think that they’d be met with armed Trump supporters?

What was so pressing that the DOJ had to launch a Roger-Stone-style guns-drawn raid on Donald Trump (was the press invited, too?)? Was this not based on information and sworn statements that the DOJ has had for a very long time. Why the impressive cop-show drama now? If there is an FBI cover-up and stall tactic involved, as there was with with the two-and-a-half year Mueller investigation — that could backfire. They better have a big reason and a logical motive for this dramatic stunt — or things could get very unpredictable.
